Torkington High Lane Circular

Meeting at 9.45 am to start at 10 am 

This nice country walk will take us through a wide range of unspoilt countryside settings from woodland, meadows and golf courses, with some panoramic views, weather permitting.  There are a number of stiles. The initial woodland path has slightly raised tree roots in places so probably need to watch footing as we proceed. There are a couple of slightly tricky bits as we cross Torkington Brook and leave the golf course on the way back. Apart from that it is mostly easy country walking, with the afore mentioned moderate bits, of around 5.4 miles (OS Maps).

The walk will start from Offerton Old Road just off Offerton Road (A627). Ample parking – the nearest post code is SK2 5GE.

Route to Offerton Old Road

From Brabyns head back along Station Road to the lights opposite the Texaco/Coop petrol station. Follow Stockport Road past Rose Hill Station to the second set of lights at ‘Seventeen Windows’. Turn left at the lights (filter lane), just up the hill Offerton Old Road is the first and second on the right. Park on Offerton Old Road next to the trees.
